Watch as we create small decorative masks, starting from the initial sketch of various mask designs. This video features the process of making papier mache masks, applying paint, and adding embellishments like beads, showcasing the art of "mask making" and "handmade" "sculpture". It's a fun "diy" "crafts" journey, perfect for those who enjoy creative "diy projects" and seeing how a simple "mask" comes to life. 🦄I didn’t just make masks… I told a story with them. This is the story of The Many-Faced Man — a figure who showed people exactly what they needed to see… until one day, the mask slipped. Using papier mâché, cardboard, and layered textures, I created these handmade masks to represent the different faces we wear — kindness, sorrow, wisdom… and something much darker underneath. But the real question is: What happens when the mask becomes see-through? 🖤 Watch to the end for the full story. ✨ WHAT I USED: - Papier mâché - Cardboard - Paints & textures - Slight existential dread train https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvpqsOnTxhNIg9ipGt1NbJjjrwhsQTYpK&si=xrJs0voTNEHw7LoQ @Daves-Acrylic-Creations https://youtu.be/J_HAl1soUxo?si=oRdYBrzwtZ8waMUR @justjanese https://youtu.be/lTqDuamEehs?si=mu8J2H7VKeI2GqUl @ArtByJulieE a break @ArtsReallyCool123 https://youtu.be/MQZfTxZDSRY?si=t8pDm5rLGYjXeSSh 📌 If you enjoy dark crafts, storytelling, and slightly unhinged creative ideas: Subscribe for more. #creepycrafts #darkart #papiermache #storytelling #handmade #artstory #weirdart Private Facebook group ➡️https://www.facebook.com/groups/httpwww.youtube.comgertcreates/ 🦄Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6HvY2s7OFHc90BkdZ0OHg/join🦄 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎨Buy me a coffee/art supplies is hugely appreciated and helps me continue this journey 💖 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/gertcreates Huge thanks to anyone who uses my list i will use whatever is sent on my channel💖 🎨Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/ls/32EKL7HHVELOW?ref_=wl_share --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🌐Email me at gertcreates@gmail.com to share your work or to let me know what you would like to see me do or make. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Affiliate links and discount CODES at no extra cost to you and helps support me to continue💖 👉link for INTO RESIN at 20% using the code GERTCREATES https://www.intoresin.com/discount/GERTCREATES?ref=GertCreates 👉RESINERS for 15% OFF using the code GERTCREATES https://resiners.com/discount/GERTCREATES?ref=clwbgzqd 👉NICPRO for 10% off using the code GERTCREATES https://nicpro.com/discount/GERTCREATES?ref=hjqayvbc https://nicpro.com/?ref=hjqayvbc refereral link of 5% 👉LETSRESIN⁩ Referal link of 10% ⁨ CA 🌍 https://letsresin.co.uk/?ref=qlffhnxb https://letsresin.co.uk/discount/GERTCREATES?ref=ubtixjlb UK 🌍https://letsresin.co.uk/?ref=ubtixjlb https://letsresin.co.uk/discount/GERTCREATES?ref=ubtixjlb 👉TEEXPERT using code- GERTCREATES for 10% off https://teexpert-resin.com/?ref=ktbdzcac 👉RESIN MOLD BOX for 10% off using this link code GERTCREATES10 https://resinmoldbox.com/?ref=vxmzzsks 👉ISTOYO FOR 10% OFF YOUR NEXT PURCHASE using GERTCREATES https://istoyo.com/discount/GERTCREATES?ref=umxwnuho https://istoyo.com/?ref=umxwnuho 👉 https://www.creativefabrica.com/ref/15147592/?campaign=Gert ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🎶music using Suno https://suno.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 The Masks… 04:30 Making the Faces 09:30 The Story Begins

About This Video

In this video I went a bit off-script (as usual) and made a set of small decorative masks… and then I couldn’t help myself—I had to tell a story with them. I start right at the beginning with sketching out a bunch of different mask designs, then I build them up using cardboard and papier mâché, layering textures until they feel properly “alive” in that slightly unsettling way. After that it’s paint time, and I add little embellishments like beads to push each mask into its own personality. The whole make is tied to my dark little tale, The Many-Faced Man—a figure who shows people exactly what they need to see… until the mask slips. Each mask is meant to represent the faces we wear: kindness, sorrow, wisdom… and then that darker under-layer that we try very hard to pretend isn’t there. The takeaway is basically: you can make something cute and crafty, but if you lean into symbolism and texture, it can turn into a proper story object. Also: yes, I did include a pinch of existential dread in the supply list, because obviously I did.
